NEW YORK, June 24, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The leader of a group of orthodox rabbis in the United States has spoken out against the appointment of U.S. Solicitor General Elena Kagan, who is Jewish, to the nation’s highest court.

Speaking on behalf of over 850 members of the Rabbinical Alliance of America, Rabbi Yehuda Levin said, “While any number of our co-religionists would represent the undeniable, historic Torah values shared by Orthodox and traditional Jews, we are devastated and broken-hearted by the choice of Elena Kagan.”

“According to the Torah perspective adhered to by our 850-plus member Rabbis, as well as hundreds of thousands of Orthodox and traditional Jews, Ms. Kagan is non-kosher – not fit to serve – on the Supreme Court or any other court.”

Levin said that it was “clear” from Kagan’s background championing abortion and the homosexual agenda “that she will function as a flame-throwing radical, hastening society’s already steep decline into Sodom and Gommorah.”

“It should be clear that Ms. Kagan’s long line of forebearers, presumably tracing back to Sinai, would have sacrificed their lives rather than embrace the anti-G-d, counter-sanctity agenda that she has lived and promoted,” said the rabbi.

Levin expressed concern that, thanks to the rise of a Jewish judicial activist Supreme Court justice, the Jewish community could be “scapegoated and targeted by even a tiny subset of the tens of millions of citizens simply fed up with an imperial anti-family, anti-Biblical judiciary.”

“For the record, let this statement serve as an unequivocal protest, establishing that Ms. Kagan’s philosophy and approach are antithetical to traditional Judaism,” he said. “We emphatically reject her ascendancy to the Court!”

Levin concluded by urging senators to oppose the nomination by any means possible.

“We family and religious people will surely employ our last weapon – the ballot box – to respond to those who ignore this existential threat, and insist on contaminating the cultural wellsprings from which we and our children are forced to drink,” he said. “It is late in the game. We implore voters to convey these concerns to their Senators – feckless and otherwise.”

WASHINGTON, D.C., January 26, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Leading a delegation of Orthodox Jewish rabbis, pro-life leader Rabbi Yehuda Levin fired up hundreds of thousands of pro-life advocates gathered at the 37th March for Life, and told them to lobby their state governors to use their state’s constitutional rights and nullify Roe v. Wade.

“If we make noise we can be heard and make a difference. What are we doing about abortion?” declared the rabbi in an impassioned address to the massive throng. A crowd estimated at over 300,000 pro-lifers attended the March for Life rally (the vast majority being youth) before taking their protest to the US Supreme Court building.

“Write millions of letters addressed to Justices of the Supreme Court,” shouted Levin. “They legalized abortion on demand, tell them they must fix it now!” The animated crowd joined in chorus with Levin, chanting, “fix it now!” …

“A courageous, compassionate, God-fearing, family-loving, children-embracing governor can close down the abortion clinics in his state through interposition,” said Levin.
“If the feds want to send in the National Guard to protect the baby killers, the governor will be a hero, and God’s people will rally to him. The back of the baby-killing industry will be broken.”

“Pro-life America, contact your governors!” cried Levin, just before rabbis blew on the Shofar, a traditional horn once blown by Jewish leaders before going into battle.

He encouraged pro-lifers to be more welcoming toward new lives into their own families: while Europe faces demographic extinction, he said, Orthodox Jewish families typically “bring in 7-14 children per family.” “God loves it,” said Levin – at which point an affirming cheer erupted from the crowd. “You can also have another holy baby,” he added.

Levin also had a message for Congress.

“Don’t you dare, don’t you dare include baby-killing funds in health care or any other legislation,” he said.

SPRING VALLEY, New York, January 27, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – While the Washington D.C. March For Life was taking place on January 22, Rabbi Noson Shmuel Leiter, Executive Director of Torah Jews for Decency, was standing outside the Planned Parenthood abortuary in Spring Valley NY, reading a list of “uncomfortable questions,” and providing the equally uncomfortable, but necessary answers.

Carrying a banner that said, “Planned Parenthood Spreads Spirit of Barbarism” Rabbi Leiter began by asking, “What is worse than yet another year of mass-murder of the most defenseless citizens?”

The answer? “Another year of the State-Sanctioning of that Holocaust.”

He then asked: “What is even worse than the murder of 60 million preborn babies?” answering: “Planned Parenthood – which brazenly legitimizes – and thereby perpetuates – that crime.”
The Rabbi continued to read a series of questions along the same lines.

“How can ‘the little guy’ hope to fight the agenda funded by leftist billionaires?” he asked, pointing out in response, “Mere exposure of the actual ‘power behind the (satanic) throne’ diminishes their effectiveness.”

“If we don’t deal with the source of subversion – we certainly won’t stop it,” he said. “But if we do address those shadowy forces (e.g. the foundations of Soros, Ford, and others) we most likely will merit to see significant successes – perhaps well beyond our expectations. May that be His Will.”
